Who has changed the information placques at Keil Point and the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse road.

It seems that the one for the lighthouse is at Keil and vice versa but no-one (and various organisations have been asked) knows who and or why.

Can anyone enlighten us?

My next door neighbours happened to mention this to me sooze whilst down that way some time back if i remember. Never looked into it when I was down myself week or so past. Some pranksters thinking there having a bit of fun :?:

Not been up (or down) to Southend since the caravan site closed last September for the winter. Can someone explain what's actually happened to the signs?

There was a time, 20 or more years ago, when the young farmers routinely swapped signs around in the middle of the night (Fridays or Saturdays) - usually farm signs, but sometimes other road signs. It got to the stage that every Sunday morning people in Southend had to repatriate one or other set of signs. Sounds a wee bit the same here ;-)

not so sure it is a prank as would need some equipment to change the placques due to the way they are fitted in. It doesn't look as if there is any damage.
